Sam Small SkipA without Paying
His BOARD BILL.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL. |


NASHVILLE, TENN, March o.
Three months ago when the reverend
journalist, Sam Small, was whooping
thing things up in Nashville at cup
posititiously lively rate, he was eating
and sleeping at one Of the BIZ st hotels
in the city. When he folded his wings
and fitted to other sections in search
of souls and greenbacks, he left a
bundle of clothes at the hotel, but the
small matter OF settling his little bill
Of $34 for the eating and sleeping
aforesaid entirely escaped his mortal
mind. The hotel men patient
ly waited for a remittance
from the reverend skipper, but
none came, and at length, when pa
thence ceased to be viltue, the bill
was forwarded to Mr.. Small's supposed
residence in Atlanta, with a request
for a settlement. Today the following
insulting reply was received, dated at
the Uoited States Hotel, Boston:
DEAR SIR-Your letter addressed to
Atlanta has just reached me. l have
been absent two months, and my wife
most OF the time, and hence the mis-
carriage OF your letter to me. Nv
dear sir, don't make q fool OF your.
self. l had no idea you were so
nearly on the verge Of bankruptcy as
your letter would indicate. 1 will be
busy en- route, go that you would not
reach me until the Goth, at Cincinnati,
when, If you will kindly drawn on me
by sight draft, care OF the Gibson
House, will very cheerfully and
promptly pay the same. With best
wishes for your prosperity, 1 am yours
truly, SAMUEL W. SMALL.

else. This was not the case. As q
matter Of fact, he continued, the
President weighs less than when he
first came to Washington, and really
takes as much exercise as most other
men. 1t is true, he does not walk
about the city, but he frequently
walks in the country, and there are
other ways in which he gets exercise.
Toe Colonel added that, altogether,
the President is in good condition,
and there is no reason for apprehen-
sion in regard 10 his health.

Mr.. Sherman has had to say about the

that on this point he didn't propose to

KATaER WILHELM.

KAISER WILHELM.
Tbs people OF Republic like ours
have no sympathy with Emperors like
Kaiser Wilhelm OF Germany, who is
firm believer in the divine rights OF
kings to govern. But since the Ger
man people, united under the Prus-
sian crown, are determined to have
monarch, they are to be congratulated
on the fact that they have wise and
humane ruler--a man OF strong char
acter and good judgment. Even Ger.
mans who have fed from Europe
30 escape military despotism never
weary in praising the character OF EN-
lpsror William. In the goodness OF
his heart he would, II he could, eman-
cipate himself from Bismarck, who Is
now the evil genius Of Germany, and
rest his throne on the affections OF a
free people instead OF the bayonets in
the hands of the most powerful army
In the world. Yesterdays APPEAL
contained full account OF the cele-
bration Of the Emperor's ninetieth
birthday, and the festivities show that
the brave old Kaiser occupies con-
spicuous place in the hearts Of the
people. His every recurring anniver-
sary becomes an interesting theme for
retrospect. What life the grand old
man has lived. Begun in obscurity
and humiliation, he has triumphed
over every obstacle and emerged upor
the summit oflhuman glory. He has
lived through all the humiliations ant
all the triumphs that Prussia hal
known since the opening Of the cen
tury. He Is the living type of Prus'
sian endurance, Prussisn valor, and
Prussisn victory. Wilhelm received
his first commission in 1906, when
only thirteen years OF age, as an ofiic q
OF the Prussisn Guards. Soon after
wards he cav the Prussian capital oc
Cupied by the hated French and with

account Of the infrmities of hi
brother he was made Regent, whicl
Office he filed until 1861, when h
ascendsd the throne as the sevent
King of Prussia. He made himsel
unpopular with the people by II
organizing the army; but the war o
1855 with Austria restored the los
confidence, while the war Of 1870 wit
France made him the idol OF the nj
ton. The uni6cation Of Germany, tn
result OF the triumph over France
has given great popularity to the rule
under whose auspices II was achieved
Under his policy Germany is n
